Advair is a drug that is delivered in 100/250/500 microgram (1.0 x 10-1 g) doses to the lungs. Research has show that there is no systemic residual fluticisone (steriods) found in your circulation. Unlike prednisone it is delivered straight to the lungs, acting only on the lungs. As for the long acting bronchodialotor salmeterol, it is very similar to albuterol chemically but acts for a longer period of time. I don't think advair is causing all of these problems. Have been on this for over 2 years and significantly controls my asthma and the two components of advair have been used safetly for many years. They have been proven in clinical trials and have brought great relief to many.
Try working out and eating better. Stop worrying about yourselves and do something interesting. It will take your mind off your weird side effects, that are mainly created by your mind.

9 year old daughter has suddenly become aggressive at school since starting 6 weeks ago. Teacher states "she acts like a completely different child".
Huge drop in grades (straight A's to C's)
Attention span significantly decreased (per teacher)
I see that other sites mention "agitation, aggression and depression" as side effects that have been observed. I don't think her asthma was that bad to begin with,

I've been taking advair for 1 year and have gained weight. Also, can't figure out why it's hard for me to lose the weight. Whenever I take the advair my asthma is under control, but when I stop it acts up again. I'm going to see my doctor about this. I don't like feeling as if I have to be dependent on advair.
